Specification of Letters Patent.

To aZZ whont it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEoRGEs CoURToT, a citizen of the French Republic, residing at 187 Rue du Temple, Paris, France, have in vented a new and useful Stencil-Plate for Printing in Colors, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to stencil-plates of the kind used in color-printing on fabrics, and has for its object a plate of special con struction whereby any design or pattern can be readily transferred in blended and shaded colors upon any suitable fabric or material. Hitherto the designs or patterns printed by means of such stencil-plates could only have one color, and hence appeared on the fabric as a mere flat tint. According to my invention I take such a stencil-plate and by the aid of suitable pliers I bend over or turn up the edges of the various parts of the design formed as usual in the plate by punching in such a manner as to raise them and form a relief.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view of a portion of my improved stencilplate, showing one of the flowers of the design; and Fig. 2 is a section on line w 90 of Fig. 1..

In the plate thus shown incisions are made along the contour lines of the drawing or designwhich it is desired to reproduce and which in the present instance is a flower-a pansy. The edges of the various parts of the flower are bent over outside the plate, as clearly shown in Fig. 2, at a b c d e f, thus leaving openings 0 for the passage of the color-sprays intended to form upon a fabric arranged behind the plate a reproduction of the flower in shaded and blended colors. The design cut out of the plates remains attached thereto at certain points Z, Fig. 1. In consequence of the openings 0 the color runs below these attachments and nov break ocours in the design.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A stencil-plate for color-printing on fabrics and the like the edges of the design or pattern of which are bent over outside the plate so as to form openings of various sizes through which the color-sprays produce on the fabric arranged behind such plate a similar design in shaded and blended colors, substantially as set forth.
